Ridgewood Park, also known as Grauer's Ridgewood Park (Ridgewood Park I) or Wallace's Ridgewood Park (Ridgewood Park II), was a baseball ground located in Ridgewood, in the New York City borough of Queens. The grounds were used, on occasion, by the Brooklyn Bridegrooms baseball club of the American Association (AA), as their home park from 1886 to 1889 and of the Brooklyn Gladiators, also of the AA, for the 1890 season.
Today the location of the park, along Myrtle Avenue, is divided by Seneca Avenue, and the area has stores and residences.
Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
